SSL证书请求文件(CSR)生成指南 - Raven SSL

By far the most common problem users have when going through this process is related to private keys. If you lose or cannot access a private key, you cannot use the certificate we issue to you and will need to request a free reissue. To ensure this never happens, we advise that a backup of the private key file is made and that a note is made of the password that is used to protect the export of the private key.

These instructions were provided by Covalent, and at this stage Covalent will provide all technical support for Raven SSL.

Please make sure that you are especially careful to backup the private key once it has been generated. Your certificate will not work without that private key.

It is important that your Common Name matches the name that the server will identify itself as when serving requests. Enter that server name below. For example, if you will be pointing people at https://www.bob.com/ then your server name would be www.bob.com . If your server has a real name ("adonis") and an alias ("secure" or "www") and you will be pointing people at the alias, then make sure you give the alias here, otherwise the browser will claim that the site name does not match the certificate.

It is also important that you give your State name, City name and two-letter UPPER CASE country code. The Organizational Unit field is optional.
